Good news hopefully
Avastin
has been mentioned so may be having 18 cycles of that?? Another lady I know the same age as me who sees the same onc hasn't been offered it. I just wondered if any of you know the criteria for being offered it?? I'm worried it maybe they think the cancer hasn't gone??

Avastin - Pains
Hi Ladies I finished 6 cycles of chemo and
Avastin
6 weeks ago (stage 3C). I'm now having just
Avastin
. My Onc says I'm to have 18 cycles of
Avastin
every 3 weeks. I'm experiencing terrible stomach cramps, I feel like I'm going to explode together with headaches and achy joints.

New Diagnosis!!
I had my first session of Carbo/Taxol on Thurs now with added
Avastin
. Not feeling too bad a few stomach pains which seem to be relieved by ginger tea and I have aches in my legs and back, hope this is nothing to worry about?

A fond Farewell,
I entered the room with trepredation and a runny nose from the
Avastin
, I met June from Ovacare and I sat down next to this lovely young woman who immediately said "Well you are on
Avastin
anyhow" This broke the ice for me, MissFitz as we knew her made me feel immediately at home and chatted about

Any help would be greatfully received
Tested positive for braca 1 and the cancer returned this January in both kidneys and stomach (at least I had 9 months clear) Back to chemo untill last month and now just the
Avastin
until next January. The problem is the debilitating back pain I suffer.

Intimate gyn dryness tips
This week there have been several discussions on forum about gynaecological dryness. Something of which I have plenty of experience. Last year my local Lupus UK group asked me to write an article for our newsletter, which got lots of appreciation. So, just in case it could be useful to someone, here

Rising CA 125 levels (again)
I had my
Avastin
infusion today and blood test results and my CA 125 levels continue to rise - now at 123 from 89 three weeks ago (it was 17 in March). The breast cancer marker is also rising in line with the CA125 .

PPC or omentum? No surgery yet as tumour not shrunk enough but ca125 dramatically reducing.
Now on round 4 with same regimen plus
avastin
3 weekly. Desperate for it to work so she can have surgery. She's been well in herself. Any advice from this wonderful community would be amazing. Much love Sam X

CA 125 levels rising
Hello ladies, I had my
Avastin
infusion and scans last Thursday and was shocked to see my CA 125 levels had risen from 17 to 89. I met with the oncologist who said as the CT scan was clear, that he's not worried at the moment, as
Avastin
can cause CA to rise.

Very disappointed 😩
Just finished 2nd line Gem/Carbo and
avastin
. Consultant very pleased with my response to it but I'm very disappointed it's not all gone and now have to live with it knowing it's only a matter of time. Kids are 23 and 19 - I so want to see my youngest graduate but that's 2 years away.

Advice please
I have read a lot of ladies on here are also on
Avastin
. I have no idea what this is or if something I should be asking for mum? Any advice is much appreciated. Mum suffers from agoraphobia so hospital visits are very hard for her. I am going along with her to first chemo on Thurs.

introduction of avastin
My consultant wants to start giving me
avastin
at the same time as my second chemo and then every three weeks for twelve months. I was a bit shocked as not looked that far ahead. Has anyone else had this drug given with chemo and any side effects after.
